Arendsnest
Beer temple
de prael brewery
Browerij 't ij
Cafe Soundgarden for a decent dive bar
Cafe Gollem
In De Wildeman
Cafe De Tuinetc etc etc theres plenty of good brown bars dotted around, plenty of shit ones too though.
de Ton Ton club is worth checking out, just so you can drink a beer, play daytona and check out the red light windows all the same time, although i think theyve rearranged since i left so the arcade games are in the back.
Vegabond or dop hert, Dop hert is kind of out of the way though, so probably vegabond(which is only a short walk from RLD and most of the touristy stuff. If its a nice day they have a terrace that looks over canal as well which is really nice. I moved away from AMS about 4 months ago so there may be more things that have opened since then that are worth a look.
Where are you staying?
If you're a coffee fan I can hook you up with all the good places to visit as well...
